Scan to BIM Services in Brownsville, Texas
Brownsville LiDAR to Revit: Port, Historic & Industrial
AeroFrohne provides precision Scan to BIM services in Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley, converting existing environments into intelligent digital models. While our headquarters is in Corpus Christi, we deploy dedicated local contractors who live in the RGV. This means you get rapid scheduling for projects in Brownsville, Harlingen, and South Padre Island without excessive travel costs.
We use the Matterport Pro3 LiDAR camera to capture high density point clouds, which our team converts into LOD 200-400 Revit models (.RVT), CAD files (.DWG), or E57 point clouds. Whether you are documenting industrial facilities at the Port of Brownsville or preserving historic architecture downtown, we deliver verified as-built data.
- Local Workforce: Deployed by RGV based technicians for fast turnaround.
- Deliverables: Revit Models (.RVT) • 2D CAD Plans (.DWG) • E57 Point Clouds • IFC Exports
- Applications: Port Infrastructure, Industrial Retrofits, Historic Preservation, Commercial As-builts
Pro3 LiDAR Specs for Brownsville Projects
The Matterport Pro3 captures high-fidelity depth data both indoors and outdoors, making it ideal for the diverse environments of Cameron County from sun exposed maritime facilities to intricate historic facades. We provide verified accuracy for your engineering and design teams to work confidently in Revit.
Standard Scan to BIM Deliverables
Revit Models (.RVT)
Intelligent 3D models of existing conditions. We model architecture, structure, and exposed MEP to your specified Revit version (2020-2025).
E57 Point Cloud
High density, registered point cloud files usable in Revit, Navisworks, Recap, and other BIM software for your own modeling teams.
2D CAD (.DWG)
Floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (RCP), and elevations extracted directly from the 3D data for traditional CAD workflows.
IFC Exports
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) exports for OpenBIM compatibility, ensuring data works across ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, and more.
LOD Specification
We tailor the geometry to your needs: LOD 200 (generic massing) to LOD 350 (precise geometry with connections/interfaces).
MatterPak™ Bundle
Includes .XYZ point cloud, .OBJ mesh file, and floor plan images for quick visualization alongside the heavy BIM data.

The Workflow: Local Capture to Global Standard
1) Deploy Local Tech
AeroFrohne deploys our RGV based contractor to your site. Fast mobilization for Brownsville, South Padre, and surrounding areas.
2) Process (Register)
Scans are registered into a unified point cloud (.E57). We clean noise and verify alignment to ensure structural accuracy.
3) Model (BIM)
Our BIM technicians import the cloud into Revit and trace geometry (walls, floors, pipes, beams) to the agreed LOD.
4) QC & Deliver
We overlay the model against the point cloud to verify accuracy, then deliver the native files (.RVT, .DWG, .RCP) to you.
